About ACT 150

ACT 150 Waiver Services in Imperial

Imperial residents pursuing Act 150 services start with Maximus, Pennsylvania's independent enrollment broker, at 1-877-550-4227. Act 150 is the state-funded attendant care program for adults 18 to 59 with a physical disability who need hands-on help with activities of daily living. It serves people whose income puts them above Medicaid limits, so they cannot use the Community HealthChoices waiver. Cost-sharing follows a sliding scale tied to household income, which keeps premiums reasonable for working families. Maximus handles the screening and forwards your case to a service coordinator who builds the plan with input from your loved one. Our caregiver then delivers the actual support at home: bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, grooming, meal prep, and light housework. Skilled nursing tasks are not part of Act 150 and would be coordinated through a home health agency. The Community HealthChoices waiver covers similar services through Medicaid with a higher service ceiling and no age cap, while the Aging waiver applies to adults 60 and older. Imperial is in western Allegheny County near Pittsburgh International Airport, with Heritage Valley Sewickley about 15 minutes north and the AHN and UPMC hospitals in Pittsburgh roughly 25 minutes east. Our team staffs caregivers across the airport corridor, which makes consistent shift coverage realistic. Call Care Solutions of Pittsburgh at (412) 341-7780 to start the conversation. We are happy to explain the cost-share scale and what paperwork you should gather.

The ACT 150 program is Pennsylvania's commitment to helping individuals with physical disabilities live with dignity and independence. Through this program, Imperial residents can access essential services that make it possible to remain at home rather than moving to a care facility.
